9 Out of 10 Wildfires Are Preventable. Most wildfires in Mississippi are caused by human actions, but that also means they can be stopped before they start.

For thousands of years, one tree species defined the cultural and ecological identity of what is now the American South: the longleaf pine. The forest once stretched across 92 million acres from VA to TX, but about 5% of that original forest remains.
